Hi all :)

The Linux Foundation has just announced their new Zephyr Project:

Zephyr Project is a small, scalable real-time operating system for use on resource-constrained systems supporting multiple architectures. Developers are able to tailor their optimal solution. As a true open source project, the community can evolve the Zephyr Project to support new hardware, developer tools, sensor and device drivers. Advancements in security, device management capabilities, connectivity stacks and file systems can be easily implemented.

Cheers, Magic Sam
 
I'm running Arch on a machine that has a Pentium 3, and had a 18GB hard disk and 74MB of RAM when I first set it up (I've now upped that to 160GB and the 512MB max, because it was cheap) as my production server. How much more resource constrained do you need?
 
And now try to get 64mb RAM, maybe 128mb of Flash and Wlan onto a Single SoC(RAM and Flash eat expensive Chip surface). Some routers with Linux even only have 16mb RAM and 8mb Flash but on multiple chips. But i think the Main Goal is the real-time capability.
